International Baccalaureate (IB) Examination ResultsAt ICS we are proud of our reputation as a non-selective school that encourages and enables all students to undertake the full IB Diploma Programme. We are aware that if we were to selectively admit students into the IB Diploma, the ICS IB grade point average results would increase by a number of points. However, we remain firmly committed to our belief that all students can achieve individual success in the IB Diploma Programme. We encourage and support all students in attempting the IB Diploma Programme. Therefore, once again we had 99% of our students presented for the full IB Diploma.

As the only fully inclusive international IB school within Zurich our results continue to be excellent thanks to the dedication of our highly qualified teachers, supporting specialists and the wholehearted support of our school’s families.

This year we are delighted that one of our students achieved a perfect score of 45 out of a possible 45 points. Furthermore, 22% of our IB candidates achieved a score of 38 points or higher which is quite an achievement for a wholly inclusive school. In addition, 30% of ICS students were awarded the IB Bilingual Diploma. Our mean score is steady at 33.5 points with 89% of our students earning the IB Diploma. We are proud of all our candidates.

Preparing For Life Beyond ICS

ICS Annual Career FairThe ICS community supports its students in setting high expectations for themselves and thinking creatively about potential career paths. Every year Grade 10 and Grade 11 students participate in the ICS Career Fair during which they have the opportunity to meet successful people from a variety of careers and are able to ask questions and join in discussions to really understand what is involved in a specific career.

ICS Summer Internship ProgrammeAnother opportunity to prepare for life beyond ICS is the Summer Internship Programme offered to all Grade 10, 11 and 12 students.
